The 802.20 appeal hearing before the Computer
Society SAB appeal panel, chaired by Lowell Johnson, will be held tomorrow at
10AM to Noon Central Time in Chicago. Geoff Thompson and I will be
attending via telephone and Geoff will be providing a conference bridge for us
plus members that may wish to be observers. Geoff's bridge can support up
to 24 ports maximum, preference will be given to EC member and 802.20
members. Please note, observers may not speak--that can only
listen.

* if the chairperson has already arrived, participants are placed directly
into conference after entering the passcode.

* if the chairperson has not yet arrived, participants will hear special
messages about the status of the conference and then be placed in a "music
hold" mode until the chairperson arrives and starts the
conference.

As I understand it, the teleconference and
face-to-face meeting will start Thursday, October 9 at 10:00 AM CDT (11 Eastern,
8 Pacific) and continue until approximately Noon Central Time. At that time the
Appeals Panel will go into closed session and the results of their deliberations
will be made available electronically as soon as they are available. The
schedule for that is up to the appeals chair, Lowell Johnson.

I (Geoff
Thompson) will act as chairperson for the teleconference
facilitation.

Any questions about the telephone facilities, other than
the conference telephone instrument in Chicago, please get in touch with
me.
